2 min read

San Bernardino County residents who display symptoms of COVID-19 including fever, cough and shortness of breath can get tested at five upcoming specimen-collection events through the end of April. 

“We understand the high demand for COVID-19 testing in our county and we are making every effort to organize drive-through events throughout the county,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman. “We are working closely with state and federal partners and exploring all avenues to increase testing capacity, despite a nationwide challenge with shortage of supplies.”

The following drive-through testing events are currently scheduled, weather permitting:

Montclair Place – 5060 E. Montclair Plaza Lane, Montclair

April 14

10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Fox Farm Lot – 41850 Garstin Dr., Big Bear Lake

April 17

10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

(Because of hazardous conditions, it is strongly recommended that only mountain residents attend the Big Bear Lake event).

Copper Mountain College – 6162 Rotary Way, Joshua Tree

April 22

10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

LoanMart Field (“Quakes stadium”) – 8408 Rochester Ave., Rancho Cucamonga

April 27

10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

San Bernardino County residents who have had COVID-19 symptoms over the last two weeks can make an appointment on the COVID-19 website sbcovid19.com when the appointment window for each event opens. Details specific to each event and information on how to make an appointment will be publicized in advance on CountyWire at http://wp.sbcounty.gov/cao/countywire/.

Appointments are not required at the Yucaipa event, which is being organized by the City of Yucaipa, and testing will be conducted until supplies last. Please visit www.yucaipa.org for more information.

Testing is free and does not require health insurance. Future testing events are being planned in Twentynine Palms, San Bernardino and Victorville. Details will be announced soon.
